Course of COVID-19 Based on Admission D-Dimer Levels and Its Influence on Thrombosis and Mortality

CONCLUSIONS: Our study observed a 1.1% in-hospital incidence of clinical thrombosis. While, a six-fold elevation in D-dimer was significantly associated with death; the same was not a strong predictor of thrombosis; an observation which implies that dose of anticoagulation should not be based on absolute D-dimer level.PMID:34394783 | PMC:PMC8336942 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr4550
